Nuclear Energy's "Big Mo"
Jun 30, 2025•9 min
Episode description
As our power grid strains under growing demands from data centers and AI technologies, nuclear energy is getting a second look. We explore the Department of Energy's fast-tracking of advanced nuclear reactor designs, particularly small modular reactors (SMRs) that promise safer, more affordable nuclear power. While companies like Elo Atomics partner with the government on promising innovations, we ask the hard questions about safety protocols and waste storage that remain unresolved.
